The West coast of Ireland, from Mizen Head to Erris Head offers interesting and
challenging cruising among beautiful scenery. There's an abundance of excellent
natural harbours, but very few marinas, so a good anchor is a must as more often
than not, night are spend at anchor rather than in a marina!
La cote Ouest de l'Irlande, entre Mizen head (la pointe sud) et Erris Head,
offre un des plus beau bassin de croisiere d'Europe, Les courants de maree y
sont relativement faibles, la brume rare, et de nombreux ports naturels (a defaut
de ports de plaisance equipes!) offrent un nombre d'abris surs et accessibles par

tous les temps. Mais la houle et les vents d'ouest dominants la reserve aux
bateaux et aux equipages capables de remonter au vent dans toutes les
conditions de vent et de mer. Des bons aparaux de mouillage sont egalement
indispensables car le manque d'infrastructure oblige bien souvent a compter sur
ses ancres!

White tower. Character:Fl (3) 15s
On the 11th March 1861 at midday, the lighthouse tower was
struck by the sea,l smashing 23 panes, washing some of the lamps down the
stairs, and damaging the reflectors with broken glass beyond repair. So much
water cascaded down the tower that it was
impossible for the keepers to open the door of the tower, they had to
drill holes in it to let the water out.
La lanterne du phare, situee, a 60 m au dessus du niveau de la mer, fut
brisee par une vague dans une tempete en mars1861. Cet incident donne un
idee de la violence de la mer dans ces parages.

Character:Fl WR 5s
Marks the South entrance of Achill sound. The fishing harbour at Cloghmore (at
the very south tip of Achill) offers good shelter in all weather, but the bar East of
Achill beg may break especially on the ebb. In bad westerly weather with swell
the south entrance of Achill sound is safe only at the end of the flood. The area
South of Achill beg can also get quite rough with a Westerly swell running against
the tide, although it is still better than on the South side of Clare Island if you must
get into Clew bay in a Westerly gale. In reasonable weather with no swell,
http://www.sea-seek.com October 2018 Page:4Shannon
Cloghmore can be entered at all time as it it is well lit (leading lights) and there's
enough water over the bar for a yacht, even at LWS.
Tide in the channel between Achill and Corraun turns about 1 hour after HW in
Westport and runs at over 4 knots.
There's a lovely anchorage off the beach East of Achill beg.
The Achill beg light also signals the North entrance to Clew bay, where the small
drying harbours of Westport and Newport offer opportunities for shopping. There
are a number of excellent anchorages in the bay.
The southern entrance to Clew bay, South of Clare Island, is not well lit, and
shouldn't be attempted at night unless one is sure of their position.
Le phare marque l'entree sud de l'etroit passage entre l'ile d'Achill et Curraun.
Le petit port de peche de
Cloghmore (a l'extreme sud d'Achill) offre un abri sur par tous les temps, mais la
barre a l'est d'Achill beg brise par grosse houle au jusant, et l'entree dans ces
conditions n'est possible qu'a la fin du flot.
La renverse entre Achill et Corraun se produit environ une heure apres le pleine
mer a Westport, et les courants atteignent 4 noeuds
Il y a un mouillage tres sympa en face de la plage a l'est d'Achill beg (voir photo).
Le phare d'Achil beg marque aussi l'entree nord de la Clew bay, au fond de
laquelle les ports d'echouage de Newport et Westport permettent de faire des
courses (et du tourisme). Il y a egalement de nombreux mouillages bien abrites et
tres pittoresques dans la baie.

Marks the entrance to Rosmoney pier (where the Mayo Sailing club now has a
floating pontoon) and the main entrance to Westport harbour. Good anchorage E
of Inishlyre, where it is also possible to come alongside. It is also possible to
anchor in the small bay East of Collanmore island.
Local knowledge is necessary to sail into the inner bay at night.

the island
has a shop with a post office, two bars, a restaurant, a few BnBs, a primary
school and a daily ferry service to Roonagh quay.
The island is the highest of all the Irish offshore island and offers excellent hill

The harbour on Clare Island offers

good shelter from all wind
with West in them, but is completely open to Easterlies.
Do not come alongside the new (outer) pier, which is used by ferries. It is
possible to dry out alongside the inner pier, or indeed anywhere in the inner
harbour, which has a clean, sandy bottom. There is about .5m at LWS at the end
of the inner pier, while the old stone quay completely dries out (see picture).
Shower and toilets are available at the community centre (the large building just
over the beach, North of the harbour), and there's a pub and restaurant within
easy walking distance. The shop and post office is a mile away.
In the summer, there are (free!) visitor moorings (yellow bouys).
Le port de Clare Island est bien protege des vents d'ouest, mais
completement ouvert aux vents d'est.
La nouvelle jetee exterieure est utilisee par les ferries, et les bateaux de
plaisance ne peuvent donc s'y ammarer que de facon tres temporaire. Il est
possible d'echouer le long de la jetee interieure, sur un fond de sable. En mortes
eaux, il y a environ deux metres d'eau au bout de la jetee interieure (au milieu de
la photo), et il serait donc possible d'y rester a flot.
Il y a des douches, des toilettes et une laverie sur le cote ouest du foyer
municipal (le grand batiment au dessus de la plage, qui est aussi un pub) et le
grand batiment bleu au nord du port est un hotel / restaurant. La boutique et la
poste sont au village, sur la cote sud a 15 mn de marche.
Il y a l'eau sur les deux jetees, mais pas de gasoil.

Small port. Suitable for yachts of all
size (the Volvo ocean stopped there
once). Convenient for shopping as
Galway is a major city, and the harbour
is a very short walk from the city centre.
You can dry out along one of the quays
or get a berth at the marina at the dock.
Galway is one of the main cities on the
West
cost of Ireland and has good train and bus connections, and all the services you'd
expect in a city, including a small airport.
Petit port. Galway est une des plus grandes villes de la cote ouest de
l'Irlande. Nombreux pubs, restaurants, boutiques (y compris shipchandlers),
trains pour Dublin et bus pour toutes les grandes villes et meme un petit aeroport.

La baie est tres bien protegee, et accessible de jour comme de nuit par tous les
temps. Par mauvais temps, Cashla bay est l'un des abris les plus surs entre
l'embouchure de la Shannon et Clew bay.
Rossaveal est un port de peche et un des ports utilises par les ferries pour les
iles d'Aran et a peu d'interet pour la plaisance, allez plutot a Roundstone, un peu
plus a l'ouest.

and Kilmakilloge. Darryname at the Northern entrance of the bay (North of Abbey
Island) is also a beautiful and safe anchorage but the entrance is narrow and
faces SW, so it is only suitable in settled weather.

Bantry bay offers a number of well sheltered anchorages accessible in all
weather: Castletown Bearhaven, a fishing harbour on the North shore of the bay
is well lit and can easily be entered at night. Adrigole, halfway up the North shore
in a picturesque anchorage perfect for a lunch time stop. Glengarrif, one of the
most beautiful harbour on the West coast (and, some would say, in the world)
offers perfect shelter in stunning scenery, while Bantry, a busy market town at the
bottom of the bay, is a good place for shopping.
To the South of Sheep's head lies Dunmanus bay, a wild and remote place with
offers little in the way of facilities, but has a few fine weather anchorages perfect
for those who like out of the way places.
